Preston Byrne

• From his own website:

"I’m an attorney at Byrne & Storm, P.C., where my practice focuses on early-stage technology companies, including industrial cryptography, cryptocurrency and interactive computer services businesses, with complex cross-border legal issues. In my free time I’m a fellow of the ASI. 

Previously, I was a securitization and derivatives lawyer with the London offices of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner and Norton Rose Fulbright, and after BigLaw, co-founder and COO of Monax. Monax built the first permissioned blockchain client in 2014. The design has since evolved into the market-leading Hyperledger Burrow permissioned Ethereum blockchain node. Burrow is presently the Hyperledger Project’s only Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), and is used by Intel and IBM’s contributions to that project, respectively named Sawtooth Lake and Fabric, to run EVMs on those codebases." 

• Was very vocal in his criticism on MakerDAO:

"It is my belief, and the belief of every professional person I know and respect, that MakerDAO is a shitcoin and Dai is a trash fire."
